Quick Read
India’s world champion women’s cricket team coach Amol Muzumdar has always been a sincere, domestic toiler. But somehow, he hadn’t got his due, at least till Sunday, when he coached the Harmanpreet Singh-led team to the ODI world title at the DY Patil Stadium. And his long-time Ranji teammate, former India Test player Wasim Jaffer, is mighty pleased to see his friend reap the rewards of many decades of hard work. “To win the World Cup is the ultimate feeling. And to achieve this in the first couple of years as coach of the Indian women’s team is definitely the best recognition Amol can get,” Jaffer, who leads the all-time list of Ranji’s leading run-getters at 12,038 runs told mid-day about his friend Muzumdar, who is second on the list at 9205 runs.
“I feel extremely happy for Amol. It was very unfortunate that he did not play for India, but to coach a World Cup-winning team is most special. There is no bigger trophy in any sport than a World Cup. I’m glad that everyone now knows who Amol Muzumdar is. I’m also thrilled that this credit is going to an Indian coach. It’s great to see Indian coaches excelling on the world stage. Credit also goes to the BCCI for trusting Amol to get this job done,” added Jaffer.
